#ceeejstudies

So somehow there are 3000 of you who decided this blog was worth following! I know it’s not a lot compared to some but it’s crazy to me! This community is so awesome and fun and helpful, and I’m so glad I found it 8 months ago. 

New name! Since this is now a post-grad “studyblr,” I’ve decided to spice up my name a little! I am now successaesthetics, formerly ceeejstudies :) Also, since so many of you just started following in the past couple days, I thought I’d do a little intro of sorts.

Me: My name is C.J., I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Art last month (and now working my booty off to get a job–yay!). I’m a little too obsessed with coffee and music, I’m a crazy perfectionist, and using a bullet journal has been an amazing gift to my sanity. Feel free to check out my instagram and art website too! I always love meeting new people, so if you ever want to say hi, please do! :) Also, if you ever want me to check out your blog, feel free to send me a message (or do so just to say hi!) or tag successaesthetics on your post!

There are a ton of lovely people in this community, but here are just a few of my favorites:

I know I can’t be the only one who sometimes needs a little extra push to focus on school work, so I’m gonna let y’all in on one of my favorite study secrets! It’s called MyNoise.net, and it’s absolutely amazing for calming your mind, setting the study mood, and helping you focus on your work and nothing else.

A few awesome things about MyNoise:

There are tons of different sounds to choose from, so there’s something for everyone! And it’s all categorized and labeled for you. You want to listen to the ocean while you write your paper? Got ya covered. How about the sounds of a coffee shop? They have that too.

All the “soundscapes” are labeled not only according to the style (e.g., nature, industrial, synthetic), but also by what they’re good for. For example: meditation, blocking out noise, music, etc.

It’s free!

And my favorite part, you can calibrate the sounds to fit exactly what you need. There are 10 sliders at the top of the page that you can use to adjust exactly how it sounds to you, and you can even save those settings! Want to listen to a storm, but want more thunder than rain? You can do that :)

A few of my favorites to use while studying, in case anyone’s interested, are Coastline, White Rain, and Ocean Waves.

Thank you!!! Yours too!

i’ve been checking blackboard and my email for three weeks now and i’m actually mad at the fact that i don’t have a single syllabus yet. and classes start in ten days.

7.6.15 // Sometimes I’ll need to get a lot done in a week, but know I can’t write them all down for one day, so I’ll write myself a little sticky note to put on that week in my bullet journal. This way, if I have free time or know the next day won’t be busy, I can pull from this to-do list and get it all done in a timely fashion :)

Ps. Super excited because I’m going to have some of my art displayed in a local restaurant! :D Yay!
